                <text>“For fifty years Frank H. Hall helped the youth of our land to solve arithmetical problems.  For fifty years, he helped the teachers to solve pedagogical problems.  For fifty years he helped everyone with who he associated to solve humanitarian problems.  And now, after so many active years of service, he has gone to solve the Great Mystery – the problem of the centuries.”&#13;

“In the realm of books, blind people were shut out from modern literature of all kinds (except as it might be read to them) because of the vast amount of time and labor required to make even on little book.  Here was another obstacle in his path which he made up his mind must be overcome. He studied the three principal kinds of raised print used by the blind the world over, - decided which system was the simplest and most easily adaptable,-- and then began putting his inventive genius to work upon a machine that would be to the blind what the type-writer is to the seeing,--even more than this.” &#13;
&#13;
“The result was soon forth-coming and startled the world in its simplicity and complete success. From the type-writer it was but a step to the stereotype-maker and map-machine: and the making of books for the blind was revolutionized. This was accompanied by no blare of trumpets. The invention was wrought out during time for which the State of Illinois was paying him to teach the blind. No other compensation seemed to him due from any source. He laughed at the idea of taking out a patent on the machines. Yes, it might make him rich,- but rich at whose cost? At the cost of the blind, chiefly, the great majority of whom hadn't a hundredth part as much worldly wealth as he had. No, this invention was not for his benefit; it was for the benefit of the blind,--to help them in their search for success through service. What would be added to the cost of the machines as royalty was thus ‘knocked off,’ and so simple was the construction of the Braille- writer that the manufacturers (at the inventor's solicitation that they make the price as reasonable as possible) offered it to the public for thirteen dollars, allowing the inventor to make a special price of ten dollars to his own pupils--those in the state of Illinois.”&#13;
&#13;
“In 1893, when, at the World's Columbian Exposition, Helen Keller was introduced by her teacher to Frank Hall, she made the perfunctory response, "How do you do, Mr. Hall?" Her teacher said to her, "This is the Mr. Hall who made your Braille-writer"-- and instantly Helen Keller's arms were around his neck and her lips kissed his cheek. This in itself more than paid him for the invention of the Braille machines --  and he could never tell of this little incident without tears in his eyes.”&#13;

                <text>“It was clear, cold, and quiet on the morning of January 5, 1893, when a man of medium height and vigorous physique, bright-eyed and bespectacled, his face adorned with a soup-strainer moustache and a small goatee, jumped lightly from the Chicago and Alton train that pulled into Jacksonville, Illinois, from Chicago, and hurried forward to supervise the unloading of a large wooden box onto a wagon. He climbed up beside the driver, and the horses hauled the rattling vehicle a couple of hundred yards eastward across the railroad tracks and pulled into the rear of the main building of the Illinois Institution for the Education of the Blind. The box was unpacked and the contents set up in the office of the man, who now had his greatcoat off and appeared in a high stiff collar, black tie and black frock coat. This man was Frank Haven Hall, superintendent of the institution.”&#13;
&#13;
“Out of the box came a machine that operated some- what like a typewriter. It had six keys, much like those of a piano, and a single oval spacing key between two groups of three keys. Each key controlled a punch that made one of the dots in a braille cell. At the back of the machine and attached to it in a vertical position - where, in a type- writer, the paper would be inserted - was a metal frame about 15 inches square. The machine was mounted on a waist-high pedestal, and extending downward was a single foot pedal. By pressing the keys, and stepping on the foot pedal, the dots of the braille letters were impressed on a thin brass sheet held in the upright frame. The resulting embossed plate was put into a hand press, a dampened piece of paper was placed over the plate, pressure was applied, and the braille characters were transferred to the paper. Thousands of copies could be made -- no fuss, no muss, no type, no hot lead. Frank Hall, whose brainchild 1 this machine was, put a plate in the carriage and tapped out four lines of the first verse of the hymn, ‘Blest be the Tie that Binds.’ “  Source:  "Frank H. Hall and His Braille Writer:  A Souvenir Publication of the Frank Hall Diamond Jubilee, June 8, 1968" by Walter B. Hendrickson, Illinois Department of Children and Family Services.&#13;

                <text>“I cannot remember all of the buildings in town but my memory is sufficiently definite so that I can give the reader a fairly good picture of the village as it was at that time. “&#13;
&#13;
“First there was the depot built beside one of the highways of the township, and opposite it on the south side of the track the usual grain elevator.  Then on the north was the store of J.S. Miller and adjoin it on the same side of the highway was a blacksmith’s shop.…Across from Mr. Miller’s store was Uncle Tom’s Cabin, as it has always  been called, in honor of Thomas Judd, the prime mover in the founding of the school.  This was at once the village hotel and the boarding house and dormitory for the students.  However at that time the transient boarders were few and far between.  A few rods to the north was Mr. Hall’s store, a long two-story structure, with broad steps in front and a long flight of stairs on the south side of the building leading up to the second floor which was the home of Mr. Hall and his family.  For the village of Sugar Grove the store was the rival of the metropolitan department stores.  In front of you as you entered was the village post-office.  On the right was a considerable display of drugs and medicines, and on the left dry-goods and notions.  Farther back was a supply of groceries, and hardware, and on one block of shelves was a stock of school books and school supplies.  In the rear of the store was a small printing press, both probably with the idea of giving instruction in the printer’s art to any student you desired it, and which Mr. Hall used in a small way in actual business.”&#13;
&#13;
…&#13;
&#13;
“And now a little as to the history of the school to which I was introduced…[Thomas Judd, a wealthy farmer of the township] had long been desirous that an agricultural school should be started in that town and at one time offered one hundred and sixty acres of land in furtherance of the project.  At that time the scheme was considered visionary and even now there were doubters.  It was only after the town had voted to rebuild [the old school that burned down] on the old site and work had been commenced that he prevailed upon his fellow citizens to reconsider the vote and adopt his plans.  Then it was that a delegation of citizens visited Mr. Frank Hall, at that time teaching in Aurora and with him worked out the plans for the school.  Several large amounts were pledged, a grand picnic was held at which the subscriptions were largely increased, the building erected and the school opened for work in the fall of 1875.  The school was called the Sugar Grove Normal and Industrial School and the hopes of its founders are fairly well set forth in the following from an Aurora paper:  ‘The pupils will be instructed in the natural sciences, including the science of farming in all its various branches, embracing the history and usefulness of the different breeds of improved stock, the methods of improving and preserving the quality of farm stock and crops of all kinds, also the science of growing crops, the fertilizers required for different kinds of grain, etc.’ “  &#13;

                <text>"Hotel West.  Twenty-seven years of continuous service for Sugar Grove.  The following is printed from a Catalogue of Sugar Grove School 1895:  'Wm. West, our able hotel man, the owner and proprietor of 'Uncle Tom's Cabin,' furnishes table board from Monday noon to Friday noon inclusive, at only $1.62 per week; and the whole seven days (21 meals) fro $2.62.  Formerly 'Uncle Tom's Cabin.'  Wm. West, Proprietor, Sugar Grove, Illinois"&#13;
&#13;
&#13;
The ornate building that served as a boarding house for student scholars called Uncle Tom's Cabin burned downed in 1879, only 3 years after it was built. It was a great loss as Thomas Judd “Uncle Tom” had no insurance.  However, he then built a new hotel on the same site.  Since there was no insurance on the original boarding house, the community came together with labor and materials, and rebuilt it using the stacked lumber method for the outside walls. The hotel was later purchased by W.M. West and came to be known as Hotel West.  &#13;
&#13;
During the first half of the 1900s, Kitty Lorah owned the building.  Sundays found automobiles with license plates from as far away as Wisconsin and Iowa parked in front of the hotel where Kitty served family style meals, all of which were cooked on two gigantic cast iron cook stoves in the basement kitchen.  Her dining room was filled with families on Sundays and railroad personnel at noon during the week.  Kitty continued to operate her restaurant and manage the apartments in the hotel, well into her later years.  She could be found seated outside early on summer mornings, shelling a bushel of peas or stinging a like amount of beans, which were headed for her huge kettles and the dinner plates of diners. &#13;
&#13;
After many years of housing students, guests, and residents, the Old Hotel West was torn down in 1999.  It became the site of Veterans Park on the west side of Main Street just north of the railroad tracks.&#13;
